„In food processing, the production of cosmetics and the pharmaceutical industry in particular, we have to take special care with regard to the consumer. This of course means that all NEMO® and TORNADO® pumps are made according to the nationally and internationally relevant manufacturing and hygiene standards and guidelines.“

Pumps for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industry

EHEDG, QHD, 3-A Sanitary Standard, materials specifications of the FDA – the list of hygiene guidelines for food conveyance systems is a long one. NETZSCH pumps meet all these requirements. Furthermore high-grade media can be conveyed in a clean and gentle manner through any stage of processing by NEMO® and TORNADO® Pumps. Our pumps open up new possibilities for your manufacturing processes. For media with high viscosity we offer NEMO® hopper pumps with conveying screws for gentle media handling.

Success Stories

When it comes to conveying systems in the foodstuff industry, the main focus is primarily on hygiene, cleanability and compatibility with food. When emptying containers using progressing cavity pumps for example, barrels can be drained to a residual quantity of less than one percent. And, thereby, they provide higher cleanliness and safety against contamination than, for example, open tilting devices. More

Fish is not just one of the staple foods in all the world's coastal regions, its high-quality constituents mean it is globally becoming a significant component of a healthy diet. Most of the residues are disposed of or processed into cheap animal feed, but the skins do for instance contain valuable proteins. One of the main global suppliers of catfish deals with customers in around 40 countries. The company does not just export the fish meat, but also produces high-quality by-products from the fish parts which would otherwise be designated as worthless residues. A key product is a collagen powder. More

A dairy in the US-State Wisconsin is specialized in liquid concentrated dairy blends. It is one of the largest manufacturer of frozen dairy mixes in the midwest and nationwide the largest producer of sweetened condensed milk. In addition, it manufactures a range of custom dairy blends that include acidified cloudifiers, alcohol cream liquor’s and other unique beverage formulations. More

Yoghurt is one of the exceptionally demanding conveyor media in the food sector. On the one hand, it is vital to avoid strong shear forces so as to protect the valuable bacteria cultures and prevent separation of the different phases. On the other hand, the product, like almost all dairy products, is critical in terms of hygiene, which means that all pump materials have to meet food safety requirements and comprehensive cleaning has to be carried out regularly.

Statistics tell us that every German citizen eats around 9.5 kg of chocolate a year, in the form of bars, hollow figures, pralines and such like. There is a particularly steep rise in consumption at Easter and Christmas. Chocolate may be very popular, but it is extremely complicated to make. In particular, the temperature has to be precisely controlled at all times to achieve the later melt-in-your-mouth effect. More

Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) are created during petroleum refining and are divided into two essential fractions: mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH). They do not only get into the products through packages. With chocolate, more...

In 1996 two friends with a passion for brewing premium beer opened the doors to the Brewing Company, a bar, restaurant and brewery in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. From a converted factory building where they brewed 1,725 barrels of beer in their first year. More

Due to their sensitivity, wines are considered to be a difficult fluid to pump, while carbonated wines present completely different challenges: Each variety, for example, has a special carbon dioxide overpressure that must be observed. At the same time, the released CO2 increases the tendency of the beverage to foam, which impairs the quality of the goods. More...

Globally, there are around 285 million people who suffer from diabetes according to the estimates of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and this figure is predicted to be 438 million by 2030. More

In everyday practice in the foodstuff industry high demands on hygienic processing are required for the primarily sensitive products, simultaneously, there is the high pressure of competition and efficiency. More

NETZSCH's NEMO® hygienic pumps have proved to be very well suited to the requirements of mayonnaise production. The progressing cavity pumps work at low speeds and shear rates, which mean the product is protected from high forces. In addition, these pumps are designed for comprehensive CIP cleaning. More...

When it comes to conveying systems in the foodstuff industry a careful transportation of the medium is a frequent precondition. A big problem for economic conveying of foodstuff is the sensitivity of the majority of the raw materials. Pumps that develop pressure or heavy shearing forces on the medium, can result in the conveyed goods being impaired or even destroyed. This is particularly applicable to fruit and vegetables. More

Juices and other drinks generally cause few problems when it comes to a company's internal material logistics - thanks to their good flow characteristics, they are easy to convey and empty out. However, such straightforward handling also leads to poor practices in terms of hygiene, such as when juice is openly decanted so that contaminants can enter the system. More

The new design of the TORNADO® rotary lobe pump T.Sano®

Smooth surface ensures easy cleaning

耐驰BY 直联型泵

NEMO® BY 单螺杆泵可用于各个行业，输送各种介质或进行高精计量。

多功能解决方案

NEMO ® Beverage Pumps find universal use in the wine-growing, wine production, brewery, distillery and beverage production industries. These mobile units provide the flexibility this production environment needs.

The TORNADO® rotary lobe pump is a positive displacement pump. The pumping action is generated by the contra-rotation of two rotors within the pump chamber which are synchronised externally. The media enters the pump chamber through the inlet port and is carried around the chamber by the rotors to the outlet port where it is discharged.
